The comments are even worse. The fact this rhetoric made it even there genuinely makes me feels terrible. Are even other transfems this liberal or is this fed work?

    Thinking outside the box for starters. You’ve been gaslight into thinking that the only valid form of political action is to participate in the very system that cause the oppression you want to get rid of and as a result can’t seem to consider anything outside of that scope even though there is so much more you can do, even though every single minority rights you have in the US was won by fighting against the system and not by participating in it like liberals like to pretend.

    Look at the civil right movement, look at what Martin Lutter King jr and Malcolm X did, look at what the black panthers did, look at what the various labor movements did, look at how the LGBTQ+ community fought back against the lavender scare.

    Despite what the capitalist state would like you to believe, exactly none of the rights these movements secured for you today were ever won by voting, all of them were won by fighting for them on the ground.
